Troubleshooting guide
Delivery
Self-paced module

Live online classes break for connection issues, login errors, wrong assignments, and other routine failures. Without a shared approach, every teacher improvises and support fields the same tickets.

This guide gives educators a fixed order of operations: identify the problem, apply the immediate fix, know when to escalate, and keep the session moving.

Brief

Who it's for

Online educators running live sessions. Mixed technical confidence, need answers fast while class is in progress.

Challenge

Replace ad-hoc troubleshooting with a short, repeatable workflow teachers can follow under pressure.

Features

  • Issue-based modules

    Connection problems, login errors, assignment mix-ups: each gets its own focused lesson.

  • Scenario practice

    Real session situations walk teachers through spotting the pattern and applying the fix.

  • Escalation path

    Clear rules for when to stop troubleshooting and how to hand off to support.

Process

  1. Research

    Reviewed support tickets and interviewed educators. Worked with IT to map recurring issues and verify the correct fixes.

  2. Design

    Organized content by issue type and built decision-tree flows for diagnosis. Navigation stays scannable when someone is mid-session.

  3. Build

    Scenario-based lessons, knowledge checks, and clear escalation steps in the finished module.
